siding
 + -1 moreThey were good. We lived down the street from the owner of the company, so we knew that we were getting a fair deal.
Description of Work: I hired Minnesota Exteriors Inc 2-3 years ago to put the new sidings all the way around.

roofing
 + -1 moreDue to hail damage, our entire roof was replaced. The salesperson was helpful, efficient, prompt, and carried through on everything he said he would do. He knew a great deal and offered us good choices. The crew that came out to replace the roof arrived on the scheduled date, did the re-roofing in a decent amount of time. We had been experiencing a leak prior to the re-roofing and they made sure to find out where it occurred and took care to check back on it a couple of times. Their work looks good and two years later we're very happy with the roof. Kudos to MN Exteriors!

replacement windows
 + -1 moreThe installation of the windows was done in one day and another crew came back a couple of days later to do the exterior wrapping. The crews wer very professional and the windows are wonderful. They did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. We have no complaints
Description of Work: We had all of the windows in our home replaced with Lindsay windows. They did a tear out of the old windows and reframed the new.

doors
 + -1 moreI was not very happy with their work. The communication was really bad. They did not do the door, that great a job. They are really quick and dirty. They had to come back and fix things. In the end it all worked out. They were the cheapest and I suppose we got what we paid for. But again they did a good job on the windows. I don’t know whether they don’t specialise in doors and whether they specialize only on widows I don’t know. Just because of the price I might use them in the future. The windows are nice and it seems we liked the way they planned and took off installing them. But they did not ask if we were happy because they were in a hurry. They had only so much time to spend. I was not here, my father-in-law was here. I did not want to take time off from work. Another thing they did was that they send us a letter saying for every positive response one gives them they would give $ 25 off on mine. Of course we did that. So they are bribing the customers to say good things about them. We are sort of caught in the middle. Of course we want their money back so my wife did it.
Description of Work: We had Minnesota Exteriors Inc in September to install two windows, some siding and an entry door put in.

Description of Work: They tore off my old roof and installed a new one. They also removed the old gutters and replaced them with new.

replacement windows
 + -1 moreI have had continuing problems with the installation. The company states that because the manufacturer of the windows has gone out of business they have no obligation. My problem is not with the windows but the installation. They say that if they came out and worked on the window installation they would in effect be liable for an additional warranty on them. of course they are not honoring any warranty now so why should they be concerned about any supposed warranty they say they would incur. Out of 42 windows I am having problems with 8 windows. They said that my building has shifted and that is probably causing the problem. If my building had shifted I would have had problems with a lot more windows.
Description of Work: I bought an upgraded set of windows with installation the middle of 2007.

siding
 + -1 moreOnce we signed the contract, the problems started. MEI used a sub-contractor to do the job. They finished the side and back, but left the front. There was also some extra caulking which we agreed to pay for. We called MEI once the sub-contractor left and told them that the front was not finished. They were surprised that it wasn't done and contacted the sub to finish the front. Once it was finished, we received an add on agreement for the caulking AND 5-additional squares of siding ($3,125). We called and said we had a contract that stated $8,750 for the side, back, and front of the house. We told them we did agree to pay for the extra calulking, but we did not authorize an additional 5-square add-on. A contract is a contract and if there were any add-ons, they needed to do this before the work was done. We did Ok the caulking and happily paid that. Eventually, MEI wanted to get this situation resolved and they agreed to discount the unagreed upon add-on. We agreed to pay the small amount since we wanted to get this resolved and get this entire thing behind us. Here are the problems we have with MEI: 1) Salesman that did not estimate the job correctly. 2) Attempting to change a contract 3) Add-ons that were tried to be slipped through AFTER the fact. There is a reason that 7 out of 11 consumers rated MEI less than A. I wish we would have researched them on Angies List before we signed a contract with them.
Description of Work: Finish siding job - approximately 1/2 of house with Maxi-Plank siding. Initial estimate and contract called for $8,750 to do the back, part of side, and front of house. The salesman told us the job was 14 squares at a cost of $625/square. The contract clearly had marked the back, side, and front of house to be finished.

gutter repair
 + -1 moreTerrible. First, several calls resulted in no answer and no response to a message left. Then, when I got through, I was told right away that the problem I was having was not covered by the installation warranty and would be extra. (I didn't even ask if it was going to be covered by the warranty, she told me right away) I felt like she was discouraging me from having the work done. I left my number, address, and info, and have never gotten a call back. She did warn me that with the work in North Minneapolis they were a couple weeks out, but it's been 2 months and obviously, I've moved on. I'm very disappointed that this company is unable to provide basic customer service.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate on gutter work. They had done our gutters a few years ago.

replacement windows
 + -1 moreThis entire process was handled very sloppily and unprofessionally by MEI?s sales representative. He should have clearly noted the sliding directions for the windows in the order. He should have known what windows the manufacturer could and could not make. MEI should have processed the payment plan in a timely fashion so that I would not have had to sign it three times over a period of six months. My sister, niece, and I each took a day off work to accommodate the installers? schedule. Then I needed to leave strangers in my home to do the second installation as none of us could get additional time off. A quick note needs to be said about the crew that did the installation ? same crew both times. They were polite and professional and in no way responsible for any of the problems. They arrived on time and removed all of the debris when they left. I appreciate their work and efforts even though I am uncomfortable with leaving strangers unattended in my home. My sister, niece, and I do not get unlimited time off from our jobs. Taking a day of vacation and having it wasted was not appreciated. I found the company unwilling to take responsibility for their mistakes and very unresponsive to my concerns.
Description of Work: On June 7, 2010, I placed an order for five windows from Minnesota Exteriors (MEI). I signed off on the window design and questioned why the single sliders were not noted as which way to slide. The representative said that the person who came out to measure would make that note. The person who came to measure said that the representative needed to make that note in the order. Then I was informed that the design of the window in the living room needed to be changed for an additional $200. The design the representative and I discussed could not be made by the window company. I signed off on that change on July 5, 2010. I was called late in July to schedule the installation. It was a busy time at work but I had a doctor's appointment so I scheduled it for that day. I asked my sister and niece to come over to assist when I needed to leave for my appointment. EVERY one of the five windows was wrong. I was told later that the change order had not been sent to the window manufacturer. Since that manufacturer couldn’t make the window originally ordered, they created a substitute without discussing it with MEI. They also guessed at the direction the windows were to slide without discussing it with MEI. Three of the windows were returned, the two living room windows had been temporarily installed and would later be replaced. The windows were reordered and several weeks later, MEI contacted me to schedule installation. I asked the installer to confirm the direction the windows slid and he inspected them at that time (and they were correct). My sister, niece, and I were unable to get time off for the installation and the installers would not work on a Saturday, which forced me to leave strangers in my home when I was not present. The windows were purchased on a payment plan signed on June 7, 2010. I had not received an invoice or any information on the payment plan by October so I contacted MEI. They told me I needed to re-sign the agreement because the change order had cost additional money. I signed that on November 6, 2010. I do not know what was wrong with that document but was asked to sign another, which I did on December 1, 2010. The payment plan then started on January 1, 2011.

gutter repair
 + -1 morePart of the house was done by the builder in 2005. We bought the house last year, and it was recommended by the inspector that we finish the side and the rear of the home with gutters. We checked with 4-5 gutter people, and in the end we decided to go with Minnesota Exterors. They turned out to be the original company that installed the original gutters. We were very happy with their work and their price. We got atleast 3 bids, if not 4. They did a nice job. They cleaned up. It looked very professional when they left.

siding
 + -1 moreWayne came out last year to give us a quote and we had the job done this year; he kept the same price. He was very patient and non-pressuring. We had five contractors quote on the job and we chose MEI because of the product, installation quality, and excellent ratings from Angie?s list. Everyone we talked to at MEI was pleasant and helpful. We especially enjoyed the installers Vidin, Alex, and Miroslav. Each day when I got home from work they stopped and took time to explain what was going on and how the job was going. They are very skilled craftsman and they took the time to do a great job. We were very happy with the job; it turned out better than any of our neighbors?s siding.
Description of Work: Removed old siding including some asbestos and installed new vinyl siding, aluminum fascia and soffits.

siding
 + -1 moreCompany was contacted several times after hail storm to repair damage that occured on May 31, 2008. These folks were the ones who installed the initial siding. Weeks went by and no bid. When contacted repeatedly, they lied about a bid having been sent. I finally e-mailed them that they were fired, and I went with another contractor. They just got around to calling me last week (6/8-6/12/09) to follow-up on whether I wanted to contract with them. Totally unrealiable and dishonest. I would NEVER hire them for anything again based on this experience!
